I didn't go both nights, but I'm glad I was able to make it to at least one of them (Friday 2/14). On average, there was probably 5 minutes of banter with the audience in between songs. Setlist was (entirely, IIRC) comprised of audience requests- complete with Tweedy politely mocking some girl's unique choice of Heavy Metal Drummer (or maybe it was Jesus, etc. or California Stars) towards the end of the set. I wasn't expecting an elaborate production, and I was right not to- the stage setup was pretty much the cliche'd glass of water on a barstool you'd get with a stand-up act or some poetry reading.
It was great to be at a show where every other person wasn't holding their cell phone up the entire time to film it and then post it on YouTube. Every once in a while a flash would go off and heads would turn in that general direction.


I've been to a handful of solo acoustic gigs in the past, and afterwards it still felt like I had gone to a show. This was a lot more laid back/informal- not sure what I'd compare it to... Regardless, it was well worth it despite having to find a place to park on a Friday night near the Vic with mountains of snow seemingly lining every street that didn't already have permit-based parking.

I'll admit, they're growing on me........slowly.

But they could not be at a worse place. One of the worst venues for concerts, IMO.

_________________

"Holiday" by Vampire Weekend came on my Pandora yesterday. Instant skip.

_________________

I used to be the same way. Any song by them - instant skip.

A few songs on the last album are pretty good IMO: Obvious bicycle, Unbelievers, and even Diane Young (played out as it may be)

_________________

Holiday played live, it's not bad

but no way i would i go to the UIC Pavillion for a show

What's better?

Congress or UIC Pavillion?

Was interested to see Against Me! but it sold out. Fuck.

Pearl Jam is being rumored for Lollapalooza.

Just watched them on Kimmel from earlier this week.
The level of musicianship displayed was quite impressive.

Going to St. Vincent and Waxahatchee in April. Strongly considering Speedy Ortiz and The Men as well.

April is a crazy month for shows......stupid adult responsibilities.

Anyone know when Dropping Off Veronica is playing next?

My wife surprised me tonight with tickets for the National's Tuesday 4/15 Chicago Theatre show.

Have to thank Bagels for the heads-up on this. I missed the Lolla show last year...first tour I've missed since 1995. Sucks that it's Tinley Park and a Thursday night, but we got 13th row, right of center.

That's a pretty solid lineup. I might need to check this out, even if it's on the lawn.
